    Description

    Hi,
    We are a young family living between Torquay and Bells Beach approximately 100km from Melbourne. We think it’s the most beautiful part of Victoria, Australia.
    We have 3 fun loving children aged 4, 7 and 10 and a friendly border collie. We have a guest bedroom with en-suite and access to a car. We live 5 minutes from the local shops and amazing surf beaches.
    We are looking for some extra hands on deck with our house/children while each of us is away for work at different times in February and March 2026.
    Tasks would include general house and child sitting support / activities including mountain biking, surfing and other fun!
